The 2010 Outdoor Theatre

Looking at the schedule, there seems to be a few acts that are a little larger than the normal offering (I am shocked Thom Yorke and MGMT are basically going unopposed; plus a lot of other really strong acts will draw big crowds). With this supposed increased land being put to use, are we going to have a bigger Outdoor Theatre setup?

Other bands will still perform on this stage, however, for this band to be able to play coachella with their full production it is necessary for their stage to be set up all weekend, due to the fact that it'd be impossible for them to load their production in during a set change on the old main stage like in the past.

The outdoor theater stage is scraped and the old main stage will take its place with adjusted audio to eliminate bleeding.

It's a thread from just halfway down this page in Misc Babble. The poster describes it as the main stage. He calls the thread "main stage on the way up." I'm inclined to believe him as that gate outside of which it was taken indicates its the traditional main stage location.

So either that's a fancy new main stage that doesn't look fancy yet, or that's just the traditional stage they use every year and this is all rubbish.

Video screens are highly secondary to better sound. I have heard some of the worst audio fuckups at Coachella while at the Outdoor stage, the crowds are huge and there is no projection especially with the Do Lab making so much noise. Improving the sound would be oh so crucial for the obvious mobs that will be there this year.

And PLEASE can the bathrooms at that stage not be such a clusterfuck?! There should be a separate entrance AND exit (obviously), last year people literally tore the fence down it was so screwed up.

With such a lineup you know it is going to be swamped.
